Queen Mab's Cave is an 1846 landscape painting by the British artist J.M.W. Turner. [1] It depicts a view which references the character of Queen Mab by William Shakespeare and likely also inspired by the 1813 poem Queen Mab by Percy Bysshe Shelley, although it does not actually illustrate scenes from either author.
